Roll Away Your Stone

So, I've decided to start my very own blog :) I've been contemplating it for a very long time, but never really knew where to begin.

Where do I start?

What do I write about?

Will anyone read it?

I've gotten to the point where I've decided to just write about whatever is in my mind at the time. Perhaps a fun recipe, a sad thought, a fun idea. I realize that I don't care how many people will read it, as long as I can get it out of my read and on to "paper", so to speak.

When I was younger, I used to write in a diary of sorts. A journal, if you will. As I got older, my Grandmother had a typewriter and she let me use it. I started typing different things: Short stories, thoughts, feelings. Anything I wanted because it was for myself, it was personal and fun.

I think I got my urge to share thoughts on paper from her.

She used to keep a journal. She started writing before I could remember. She would write in her book every day about different things: Her family, finances, thoughts, feelings. She rarely shared it with anyone. After she passed away, I inherited some of them.

I haven't have the courage to crack one open yet.

I believe that sharing your life with friends and even strangers is a great way to get different perspectives on things that you may be narrow minded about. Sometimes, I get stuck in my own head and focus so hard on one thing, that I don't see everything around it. We all need a little nudge out of the ordinary every once in a while. Especially me. I have a horrible problem with dwelling.

I think that starting this blog will be nothing but positive for me. I hope everyone enjoys reading what I share, and doesn't judge.

Just appreciate the fact that my views and thoughts may be different than yours. Maybe you too will discover that your focus is on one thing, when you should look at the big picture.

Also, a fun fact: I will be titling all of my blog posts with a song title. Check them out, you may know the song, or it may be something new. Either way, it will have something to do with how I feel at the time I'm writing... It may help give you some insight on how I'm feeling :)
